Today I need to...

Finish the proposal!

There are just a few tiny details left, for which I'm waiting on others.

Due today or tomorrow.

Do our taxes!

Readers may recall that we didn't get one of the necessary forms until April 13th.

Haven't looked at this in months; no idea how long it'll take.

Due Thursday.

Prep for Thursday's meeting with JG!

I may not see her again for months. There are loads of things I should show her when she's here.

Due Thursday - and I don't really have time to work on this or any of the other tasks on Wednesday.

Apply for a sabbatical!

This is increasingly seeming like an excellent idea.

Due Friday, but I should get a draft right away to the person who's going to write a letter of support.

Okay...

One hectic day

Proposal: Maybe my part is done?

Taxes: Took two hours, but all that's left now is copying and mailing.

Meeting prep: Decided it would waste her time to read a bunch while I sat there; planned a more sensible agenda.

Sabbatical: Put it off, mostly, but got the letter anyway.

My mom called and pestered me twice over things nobody else would agree were the least bit urgent, and I was fairly frazzled. I relaxed a little by going for a walk in the light rain at twilight.
